Most Recent Complaints
A SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY ONE DAY WITH A BUZZ IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER WHO HAD $600 WORTH OF SERVICE DONE TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND LUBE THE 4WD COMPONENTS IN MY 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 TO KEEP MY TRUCK RUNNING GREAT. HOWEVER, JUST A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT. I DROVE ANOTHER 20 MILES BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AT ABOUT 15MPH SO I COULD JAM THE BRAKES TO STOP. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED $1700 TO RUN ALL NEW BRAKE LINES.I JUST PUT NEW BRAKE LINES IN MY 2003 BUICK REGAL SO THE TRUCK IS GOING TO SIT IN MY DRIVEWAY IN HOPES OF A RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IF I HAD NEEDED TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO IN TIME. *TR
